My youngest couldn't have cows milk, she was on soy formula and when she turned 1 the ped said to leave her on formula a bit longer due to the dairy issue. When it was time to switch her I asked about soy milk and rice milk and our ped said that alot of kids that drink rice milk end up anemic so not to do that, so we tried soy milk and to our shock she couldn't tolerate it, threw it all up! We ended up putting her on almond milk and it worked like a charm.
